What To Expect
Join this ~2 hour evening Northern Lights & City Cruise in search of the enchanting Aurora Borealis as they dance across the night sky in a stunning display of colour and movement. As we sail into Faxaflói bay, enjoy panoramic views of Reykjavík’s illuminated skyline and landmarks such as Harpa Concert Hall and Hallgrímskirkja church. When the Imagine Peace Tower is lit (October-December), we sail by to admire its radiant beam before turning our gaze to the northern skies.
